Nope, it's a LeCompte (sp)... One of Bud's creations.. CB SC series IIRC.. Here's his website.I believe that's a Bordwell...it's damn fine work, and the pup choice to match the HB is killer.
I'm also usually not a big fan of "boutique woods," but this design really speaks to me.
I gotta start playing the lottery.

Nicky -My Stroy Singlecut 5er. It's getting a major makeover. I just sent it to Michael Dolan who is going to turn it into a hollowbody. The bass itself is great, but it wasn't quite finished when I got it. It needs to be cleaned up a bit. He is going to get back to me about applying a finish. It's all ebony.![]()

I wish they did them with the upper horn coming in straighter - i dont dig the 'cut-back' horn - which is why all those stunning looking fodera single cuts just dont float my boat.
Which rules cause i cant afford one anyways.
This is one of my favorite basses of all time:

I would've taken this as Top-Wood. It has such a beautiful grain!
